Has anyone tried the e-Bay radiators? I've been pricing around and the cheapest I could find (at Autozone) is $270. The e-Bay price sounds very enticing but I don't want to have a blown radiator after only several months of usage.

Give me your inputs if you've bought and installed their radiator. Thanks.

 

I bought a Koyo OEM replacement radiator off ebay for I think $120. It was an exact replica of our stock ones and droped in easily. If you need a new radiator, deffinately go with one of the koyo's on ebay.

autozone has them for $174.99 life time warrenty......i work there

 

Wow...what a price difference. The Autozones here in So.Cal sells them for about $270! So I ended up getting a Koyo OEM replacement radiator from e-Bay for $129 plus tax. Fortunately, the seller is also in SoCal, about 30mins away from me so I just drove up this morning and picked one up. An hour later, I had it installed on my max and I'm a happy camper once again. BTW, this Koyo radiator slips right in place of the old one, no mod of any kind needed.

Thanks everyone for all your inputs.

 

Awww, you shoulda installed it yourself, unless someone else did it for free. Its so easy to install I did it my first time in about half an hour, you dont even need to jack up the car.

 

I think he did install it himself, but spoke in the past-tense, i.e. "I had it installed in less than an hour" really means, "It look me less than an hour to install it"...

 

Yep...........i did the install myself. I've done it before on another car which was more difficult than ours. Ours was so easy I didn't even break a sweat.

 

hehe, oh. When you said "I had it installed" I asumed it ment by someone else. good job, hehe.
